Context7 Plugin for Claude Code
Context7 solves a common problem with AI coding assistants: outdated training data and hallucinated APIs. Instead of relying on stale knowledge, Context7 fetches current documentation directly from source repositories.
What's Included
This plugin provides:
- MCP Server - Connects Claude Code to Context7's documentation service
- Skills - Auto-triggers documentation lookups when you ask about libraries
- Agents - A dedicated
docs-researcheragent for focused lookups - Commands -
/context7:docsfor manual documentation queries
Installation
Install the plugin from the official marketplace:
claude plugin install context7@claude-plugins-official
Available Tools
resolve-library-id
Searches for libraries and returns Context7-compatible identifiers.
Input: "next.js"
Output: { id: "/vercel/next.js", name: "Next.js", versions: ["v15.1.8", "v14.2.0", ...] }
query-docs
Fetches documentation for a specific library, ranked by relevance to your question.
Input: { libraryId: "/vercel/next.js", query: "app router middleware" }
Output: Relevant documentation snippets with code examples
Usage Examples
The plugin works automatically when you ask about libraries:
- "How do I set up authentication in Next.js 15?"
- "Show me React Server Components examples"
- "What's the Prisma syntax for relations?"
For manual lookups, use the command:
/context7:docs next.js app router
/context7:docs /vercel/next.js/v15.1.8 middleware
Or spawn the docs-researcher agent when you want to keep your main context clean:
spawn docs-researcher to look up Supabase auth methods
Version Pinning
To get documentation for a specific version, include the version in the library ID:
/vercel/next.js/v15.1.8
/supabase/supabase/v2.45.0
The resolve-library-id tool returns available versions, so you can pick the one that matches your project.
